Looking to contact F/Sgt Reuben Ward's son Frank Ward re the DDMcNeill crew in 415 Squadron August-December 1944. submitted by D Fletcher

I'm pleased to report that we were able to put Mr. Fletcher and Mr. Ward in touch.

From Dawn,

Thank you so much for the information on my grandfather, it was much appreciated.

Great work, as always, Temujin. So it looks as if he was not with No. 14 Field Ambulance for D-Day and their time in France (so disregard those accounts previously posted).

I’m trying to find out any information on him and his service and how he died leaving behind a wife ...

Wow! Top notch work Temujin! I've been otherwise occupied today but I did reach out to a historian, Jeffrey M. Leatherwood, Ph.D., who's written a book on the origins of the U.S. Ordnance Bomb Disposal services to see if he has anything in his records relating to these squads or Worthy Park House. h...

While searching for information I found this EXCELLENT site on Military Camps in England. I have NOT found Worthy Park House in it (yet)…..but I might suggest this is definitely a website to contact and see what they have. Great find! I have not had any luck myself finding much detail on Worthy Par...
